    groff(7), groff_diff(7): Fix style nits.
    
    * Say "GNU troff" where distinction from other implementations is
      helpful.
    * Stop using register interpolation notation to refer to registers when
      the notation hasn't been introduced yet.
    * Use active voice more.
    * Use metasyntactic variable that is not identical to the operator
      literal adjacent to it.
    * De-bold example formatter output.
